## About the event

# Light, Art & Form — Intermediate Art Nude Photography Workshop


## About the Event

10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
We are excited to present Light, Art & Form, an intermediate-level studio photography workshop exploring the creative possibilities of art nude photography, light and form, featuring the talented model Ciara Antoski.
This hands-on workshop is designed for photographers who want to develop their understanding of studio lighting while creating dramatic, artistic and carefully composed images for their portfolios.
Working in a small, intimate group, we'll explore several professional lighting setups and discuss how the position, direction, quality and shape of light can transform the appearance of the human form.


## Workshop Details

Are you passionate about art nude photography? Do you want to better understand how professional photographers create dramatic and beautiful lighting?
This workshop is focused on learning through doing. Phil Sutherland will guide participants through each setup, explaining the lighting choices, modifiers, angles and techniques used to create the desired look.
Participants will have opportunities to photograph each setup while receiving guidance and feedback throughout the session.


### Framing & Composition

During the workshop, we'll explore several approaches to photographing the figure, including:

• 2/3-body compositions
• Floor-level compositions featuring lingerie
• Full-body compositions
• Exploring how framing, negative space and perspective affect the final image
• Using light and shadow to emphasize form and create mood

## Workshop Team

Instructor: Phil Sutherland

Model: Ciara Antoski

Assistant: Volunteer to be announced
Ciara brings considerable experience and professionalism to the workshop, and we're thrilled to have her working with us for this session.

### Small Group — Maximum 6 Photographers

To provide a better learning and shooting experience, we are limiting this workshop to a maximum of six participants.
Keeping the group small allows for more individual attention, more opportunities to ask questions and meaningful shooting time with each lighting setup.
